Broken Social Scene, Iron & Wine to Do Olympics Neil Young Tribute Show

Olympics to also host shows from Wilco, Stars.

Along with luge, figure skating, and, um, curling, Vancouver will host an impressive list of musical events surrounding February's Winter Olympics. (Via Consequence of Sound.) The coolest-sounding show is an all-star extravaganza featuring Broken Social Scene, Iron & Wine, Joan as Policewoman, Sun Kil Moon, Ron Sexsmith, and more paying tribute to Neil Young with covers from across the Canadian old-schooler's career. BSS and Joan as Policewoman will lead the house band. The gig goes down February 18 at Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

Other artists taking part in various Olympic-related festivities include Stars, Laurie Anderson, Steve Earle, Tinariwen, Kâ€™Naan, Martha Wainwright, the Kronos Quartet, and Wilco, who will play a free outdoor set on February 13 at David Lam Park. Bundle up. And check the official Cultural Olympiad site for more info.
